Broadband focusing flat mirrors based on plasmonic gradient metasurfaces.
We demonstrate that metal-insulator-metal configurations, with the top metal layer consisting of a periodic arrangement of differently sized nanobricks, can be designed to function as broadband focusing flat mirrors. Using 50-nm-high gold nanobricks arranged in a 240-nm-period lattice on the top of a 50-nm-thick layer of silicon dioxide deposited on a continuous 100-nm-thick gold film, we reali...
متن کاملFlat optics with designer metasurfaces.
Conventional optical components such as lenses, waveplates and holograms rely on light propagation over distances much larger than the wavelength to shape wavefronts. In this way substantial changes of the amplitude, phase or polarization of light waves are gradually accumulated along the optical path. This Review focuses on recent developments on flat, ultrathin optical components dubbed 'meta...
متن کاملReconfigurable Gradient Metasurfaces With Random Access
Since metamaterials have enabled the design of almost arbitrary landscapes of static optical properties and functionalities, dynamic temporal and spatial control over metamaterial properties has become the next big challenge [1]. Here we demonstrate the first randomly addressable reconfigurable metamaterials, thus enabling fast and high-contrast control over optical properties simultaneously in...
متن کاملEnhancing spoof surface-plasmons with gradient metasurfaces
The coupling between surface plasmons and free electrons may be used to amplify waves or accelerate particles. Nonetheless, such an interaction is usually weak due to the small interaction length or velocity mismatching. Here a mechanism for enhancing the coupling between plasmonic fields and relativistic electrons is proposed. By using a weakly gradient meta-surface that supports the spoof sur...
متن کاملWave-front Transformation with Gradient Metasurfaces
Relying on abrupt phase discontinuities, metasurfaces characterized by a transversely inhomogeneous surface impedance profile have been recently explored as an ultrathin platform to generate arbitrary wave fronts over subwavelength thicknesses. Here, we outline fundamental limitations of passive gradient metasurfaces in molding the impinging wave and show that local phase compensation is essent...
